Surprise at the Art Gallery in Cleveland

posted on 1 January 2011 | posted in Arts and Entertainment


While in Cleveland for a sporting event we decided to stop by the Cleveland Museum of Art - I am an art fan and my house is full of Hogarth canvas prints in particular. I had heard about the museum's exhibit of armor and wanted to experience that. It was a most impressive exhibit with a wide array of medieval armor on display, along with notes on historical significance of each piece. As we wandered further into the museum we found that there was a Picasso exhibit that had just opened. There was no additional charge so we went in and to my surprise the exhibit was fabulous. I had not been a Picasso fan but after viewing the exhibit I became one. I have always been amazed that I stumbled upon this world famous artist's work when I least expected it and became a fan because of it. I think it's a lesson for me to visit art galleries more often.
